We would like to offer a few suggestions in order to help you stay safe and have a positive experience this weekend:<BR/><BR/>--Try carpooling to the game; if possible, drive a car with non-<BR/>Michigan license plates.<BR/><BR/>--Keep your Michigan gear to a minimum, or wait until you are<BR/>inside the stadium to display it.<BR/><BR/>--Stay with a group.<BR/><BR/>--Know and obey the laws regarding alcohol use.<BR/><BR/>--If you are of legal age to drink, use alcohol in moderation.<BR/>Stay in the blue.<BR/><BR/>--Stay low-key; don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself.<BR/><BR/>--If verbally harrassed by opposing fans, don't take the bait.<BR/><BR/>--Avoid High Street in Columbus.<BR/><BR/>If at any time you feel unsafe, you should call 9-1-1 for assistance. U-M campus police also will be available in Columbus to support our fans.

A Michigan fan a few rows behind me kept tapping me on the shoulder whenever UM had a good play. It was annoying, but I survived.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, I did catch a bit of hell from an OSU fan who found out that I was actually a Michigan fan in disguise.

It's not only the administration. The vast majority of fans feel the same way. <BR/><BR/>#2 - That wasn't a hired TV crew to document the gameday atmosphere in 2002. That was the recently passed away VP of Student Affairs Bill Hall, and he did it to change the atmosphere in Columbus. Has it changed since 2002? Absolutely.

Why is it universally recognized that Tosu fans are the worst damn fans in the land? Only in Columbus they do it, and you know why?<BR/><BR/>Because your fan behavior is simply intolerable. And I'm trying to put it nicely just so you can understand it. No need to lecture Michigan fans on fan behavior, that's like comparing the size of Pluto to Jupiter. Fucking retards.
